Programme scholarships

We know that undertaking Masters study can be a significant financial commitment and we therefore provide significant scholarship funding for applicants who have been offered a place on the programme and who meet our scholarship criteria. These generous scholarships are provided for self-funded and part-funded applicants. The scholarship amounts vary and can in exceptional cases be up to the full amount.

How do I apply?

You will automatically be considered for these scholarships when we review your application and while funds are available. Because we allocate scholarships on a rolling basis, it's wise to make your application for the programme as early in the year as you can.

There is no need to complete any additional paperwork. However, you may be invited to participate in a short telephone interview as part of the selection process or asked to supply further supporting information. If we shortlist you for a scholarship, we will let you know what we need from you and the process involved.

If you are awarded a scholarship, you may be asked to act as a student ambassador or representative for the programme.

Types of programme scholarships

For 2017 entry, we are offering the following types of scholarship:

Nom Habu Scholarship

Lancaster University has announced the annual Nom Habu Scholarship in honour of its former staff and post graduate student, Nom Habu who passed away after a short illness in December 2016. Nom was employed as the Regional officer, West Africa from May 2011 to August 2013, after which he came to study on the MSc Quantitative Finance. On successful completion of his studies, he took post as the Student Recruitment Manager for Lancaster University Ghana. The scholarship is lasting way of remembering Nom and his service during his time at the university.

The Nom Habu scholarship of up to £10,000 will be awarded to any Nigerian or Ghanaian student who has an offer to study MSc Quantitative Finance at Lancaster University for entry in October 2017. Any applicant meeting this criteria will automatically be invited to apply for the Scholarship and shortlisting and interviewing to determine the successful recipient will take place in June 2017.

Other Lancaster scholarships

The University provides several generous Scholarship Schemes to help students with the costs of postgraduate study. These include an Alumni Loyalty Scholarship for Lancaster University graduates.
